GAM, the struggling Swiss investment company, will conclude its highly anticipated review of a former star fund manager’s appeal against the decision to fire him for gross misconduct in the next few days, according to people familiar with the process.

Tim Haywood was sacked in February after a months-long probe following whistleblower allegations that he breached internal policies related to record keeping, risk management and gifts and entertainment.
